I Remain Calm lyrics

[Hook x4]
I remain calm, lyrically, I got the bomb
When you put me on, I remain calm

[Verse 1: Malik B.]
I remain calm, but for j*rks that irk
Come out my humble, go berserk and make you swallow your smirk
I splurge most and bash, capacitate mass
I fascinate as I assassinate and show task
Characters and egos get crushed in trust
And my words stampede like herds in the dusk
Cream of all crops, topics I drop with Trotter
When heated up, I gets hotter 'cause I'm proper
You never knew the levitude the clever few
Different tax for revenue, man, if you ever knew
The tac-tic, strategies of word ca-pa-bilities
Display, decease the rhythm, and man, how it swerved and curved
Made a n*gga's dream, but his hope deferred and stirred
Dig the mentals — Papermate, Bic's and No. 2 pencils
My credentials flow on instrumentals
I write a anthem, throw a tantrum and remain handsome
Mysterious vibes like I was the Phantom
Erupt abruptly, then conduct, amaze
You're f*cked when the lyrics get buck because I graze
Never animosity on my property
n*ggas acropoly, or they feel extreme monstrosity
Wreak and leak out the verbals, Akhi, don't forget it
The chief of edit, the Malik'll shred it, yeah, I said it!
[Hook x4]
I remain calm, lyrically, I got the bomb
When you put me on, I remain calm

[Verse 2: Black Thought]
That n*gga Thought flows like a river
I deliver styles like Domino's
Eyes closed, I inhale equality, follow me now, son
Listen, my divisions advance, I surpass one half of the rap mass
The other half want my autograph
Because I got soul, plus a ghetto stroll similar to Shaft
It's the mic rapers, splittin' Phillies in the cellar
My a capella verse can stomp, I delete comp
My rated-X larynx wrecks your context
I'm complex, confusin', lyrically amusin'
I drink brews then when I'm groovin', I'm no longer human
I'd like to take this time to give a shout
To all the money makers in the house
Come on and help me turn it out!
I whip the cap to the back, I'm laid back like your gramps
I make n*ggas embarrassed like they spendin' food stamps
I take my time when I rhyme lovely, me, nah like ugly
Like, God, we get odd to ill rhythms
Rappers thinkin' of steppin' up — what the f*ck you doin'?!
I amplify the hymn to bring your empire to ruin
Who's your girl screwin', fellas? Jealous because I'm fly?
Keep my sneakers dry when you cry-baby
See, I can have you headin' for the border like a Refugee from Haiti
A-yo, this brother drivin' my cab tried to flip, sayin', "Pay me in advance"
I asked him if he ever danced in the dark with the rap devil Black Thought
See, n*ggas who get caught off guard remain scarred ear-to-ear
With headphones remainin' on they domes, they hear
I resound and astound and scare
I reign terror into another n*gga rap era
My rhymes sedate, I lubricate like Aloe Vera
I'm extreme, restin' in the land of the plot and the scheme
Peace to Bed, Shedroch and the Equal Team
[Hook x12]
I remain calm, lyrically, I got the bomb
When you put me on, I remain calm
